CustomizingtheChannel
Strip
Even though the basic functions of Console1 as well as the included model of a Solid
State Logic SL4000E should be more than adequate for any mixing tasks, there are
ways of customizing the channel further. We go through these here.
Loading Other Channel Strips and Eects
e included Solid State Logic SL4000E is an excellent channel strip, but sometimes
one might like to have the option of other sound characters. Either just another com-
pressor or equalizer, or a whole other channel strip sound. Softube will continuously
release new models of analog hardware in the form of channel strips that will perfectly
integrate with the Console1 system. ese will be separately available for purchase. But
you can also use all the other Softube plug-in equalizers, compressors and gates as part
of a Console1 channel.
Note that plug-in eects you load into the Console1 system may not perfectly cor-
respond to the screen printed parameters on the Console1 hardware. Some Console1
knobs may change or lose their function, and there may be plug-ins that have more
functions than can be controlled from within Console1. is will however all be re-
ected in the On-Screen Display. If you nd you would like to use a function that can
not be reached through the Console1 system, we recommend that you simply launch
the ordinary plug-in version in your DAW and control its settings with your mouse,
just as you would have done before you got the Console1.
